ℹ️ About the episode:
The ABCs of motorized RVing starts now ...
If you've been part of the KYD Community for a while, you know we like to share new experiences and stay in "learning mode." We get countless RV questions about everything from vehicles to towing to tow vehicles . . . But this season, we wanted to expand our knowledge to include motorized RVing. That’s right-for the first time ever (well, in the United States anyway), we’re going MOTORIZED. But which motorized RV should we start with? If we purchased a Class A, we'd still be missing Class B and C experience. Switch any of those letters around, and we’d have the same problem. So rather than purchase an RV, we thought we'd rent a few instead. And just to make sure we get everyone's attention . . . we started with the biggest one we could find! In this episode we went to Sedona and then visited the Grand Canyon National Park, which we'll share more of next Sunday!

Congrats on 400,000!!
Congrats we tell everyone...
Congratulations KYD
Congratulations!!!!
That footage of Charlie laying there on his back just loving life... best part.
Yes that made me laugh. And I actually said out loud Silly Charlie
"Air horn mode staying on" with huge excitement in Marks eyes. Lol
Trish. You definitely can drive a class A. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I would be driving a class A. Ours is 37 feet. The first time I drove over two hours. I never took my hands off wheel for even a sip of water. Now I laugh at that. I will soon be 79. Now been driving three years. Love it. ❤️❤️
Very true, and ours is a 37' as well, and when we went to check ours out before buying, my wife drove it as well, and had absolutely no issue doing so....she actually drove it further than I did! Honestly, I think Trisha would do 'quite' well driving a Class A, or for that matter any RV!
You go girl! I want to be you when I'm 79.
I’m 72, and I drive a long School Bus, with noisy kids. If I can do it, you certainly can. I would not miss this opportunity to do it.
Your videos just have an overall positive feeling that you just can't find anywhere else.
So true. I always feel so good after watching.
You need to do summer to remember flags, so people can fly them at their campsites and be picked out easier! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is a FANTASTIC idea! I’m not a t-shirt fan, but I’d fly a flag. And we could add to them every year.
YES!! S2R flags would be fantastic!!
Going thru life’s stages. Many campers in past. Thinking class B with electric bikes for transportation. Maybe in your class B or C show, include electric bikes for a variable?! Just a thought. Actually your thought, too.
GREAT IDEA!
@@kathrynfinley3716 great idea
I love seeing Caleb and Trish's relationship. Caleb reminds me so much of my son, James.
My youngest son is 20 now, and enlisted in the US Army in March 2020 when he was 19.
Due to co3id-19 his class' graduation ceremonies were all canceled, and no home bound leave at the end of AIT. He was sent directly to Germany on graduation day. No reunion with us. I miss him.
But every week I get to tune in to KYD, and not only get a healthy dose of full time RV living, but I also get to enjoy Caleb joking around with his parents. And my heart is happy again.
Charlie on his back with the stick killed me. 😂 ♥️ 🐕
That went on far longer than I had music!
Who remembers New Zealand and the Class C, let's hope this season goes better for the windows. Love watching you guy's. Congratulations.
Lol. Let's hope!
@@KeepYourDaydream They must not have rented that RV because Marc says they never rented an RV before, stressed much Marc?
Yes, that poor window 🤣😂😅
You break a couple of rv windows and they never forget! LOL.
Imagine the budget of ABC or NBC or some other similar entity and yet they refuse to put out a show as wholesome or as interesting as KYD. Network / cable TV is totally indecent, you guys and "the chosen" are the best things I've seen in a long time.
Hey guys. That was our coach you rented. Glad you enjoyed it. If you want a renters perspective contact us.
I'm so glad you're doing this "motorized" series. I'm an RV wanna be and I'm looking forward to learning from you. You have the best videos!
Charlie near the end be like, you have that big class A ill just keep this stick. all is right in the world.
Trish’s comment about her slippers cracked me up because I’ve actually driven in my pajamas many times because I was just anxious to get on the road. 🤣 I have a Thor Vegas 24.1 - a class A design on a class C chassis. Only 25 1/2 feet. I love it.
Trish is so stinkin adorable. Your "hitting the road" outfit was adorable. 👏👏👏
PLEASE don't forget those of us who DON'T own a rig, with no plans to rent or ever own. I treasure your boating trip out East, and ice fishing rig moments. DREAMERS hang out here too, who travel with their vehicles. Off-Grid teardrop you briefly owned, ( as a tricked out 4x4 truck), is my goal! This years MERCH Design is awesome. I love spending my everyday S&B's life in a KYD hat. MODs are treasured too like last truck video shared. WHERE do you get that awesome music too???
We switched from 5th wheel to Class A 2 years ago and it’s been the best! We love traveling in a our class A. It does take time getting over the jitters from driving something so large but you’ll have it down in no time. Safe travels KYD
YES! I a little worried you were getting too comfy in that airstream and we would never get to see anything else again. ☺️
It is easy now, but for some reason... we don't take the easy route :)
GOT MY SHIRT!...Not because of trying to be a part of your team but because it's a GREAT DESIGN and a GREAT CONCEPT and you picked a GREAT COLOR!...Thank you.
I’m really enjoying the new adventure with the rv rentals, but I miss the airstream.
My dream is to own one before I pass on to my forever life in heaven. I’m getting up in years along with my husband but my motto is never say never. So happy for you and your family and allowing me to live my dream vicariously though you.
We have a Class A and began traveling about a year ago, I could feel all your nerves and stress, flashback for sure. We have a little mini as a tow but I had to laugh as everything you experience we totally lived in the beginning. Can't wait to watch KYD again this Season!
I’m sooooooo EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON OF DIFFERENT RV’S! This is every RV’ers dream! Thank you so very much for sharing! Praying for your safety and your wellness. 🙏🏻♥️
LOVE Charlie's smile!🥰 LOVE Marc's reaction to the ferocious sounding dog barking as you were picking up the class A!😂 Impressed with Trish's cooking/meal planning skills! Can't wait to see all of the comparisons- class A vs class C, etc. Thanks a bunch!
thank you guys for sharing another great video, I can't describe the peace and pleasure I get by Seeing you guys enjoy and interact with each other, beautiful family and relationship, keep it coming!!!! 👍👍👍
We saw what you did there overlaying “KYD” on the license plate of the Reflection 5th wheel 😉😁👍 And Charlie - we love him! 🐶
I missed that...had to go back and look...
I thought that was one of their stickers on another trailer! Then I realized that was the license plate. Joy turn to mild disappointment
Love it...Marc: "I'm from Arizona" LOL! And the giggle Trish gave after Siri told her how long it would be. Seems like no matter what the hold up is..."there is a delay of 4 weeks and 2 days due to a forest fire...you are still on the fastest route to your destination" LOL! Happy Season 10 you guys! (ps...poor Charlie!)
I found you guys last year and now I have a new camper. A step up from an old pop up. Thanks to you I feel a little more comfortable taking her out. Thanks guys❤️
KYD so glad you are showing the comparison to the various RVs. It helps to get an honest opinion of each with the pros and cons. Sadly we sold our 2 year old RV last year because we found it was too much for us. We loved traveling and feel so fortunate to have had that time. We got it when we retired so we could travel. It was amazing. We visited 12+ NPs in 2 years and several more other trips. Between a lot of maintenance and the rigors of traveling with a Class A across the country we became conflicted and then Covid hit which shut us down so we sold it. I was devastated and still cry. I love the outdoors and miss it so much. We hope to pick back up and learn to travel differently to continue with our bucket list. I still love living vicariously through your videos. Best wishes.
All we are missing is the Ford Bronco hopefully they come out in time and Marc can get his car lol.
Sadly he won't be able to get one this year even if she said yes. Ford has sold all the ones they are able to build this year.
Guys,why did I feel tense throughout the whole video? 😂😂
We went from a 28 ft TT to a 34 ft motorhome pulling our Ford Escape and now we are back to a TT, only a 25 ft. The motorhome unnerved me as a passenger. My husband drove big rigs so lack of experience was not the problem. Thank goodness there are so many RVs to choose from. Something for everyone❤️
We have a Class A diesel pusher. I still remember our first trip. We purchased our RV at Lazydays in Tampa Florida. The last thing they had to do was install the tow gear on our Lincoln MKX and teach us how to use it. Needless to say by the time we left it was 4:30 pm on a Friday in the rain. So not only did we get the privilege of rush hour traffic, but it was raining. Fortunately Lazydays has a driving school where they teach you how to drive whatever it is you bought. Being in rush hour in the rain and my wife reminding me every so often how much the RV and our brand new Lincoln cost definitly didn't help with the stress level. We made it as far as Brunswick Georgia that night. We stayed at a Cracker Barrel and I only managed to run over one curb. Lol!! It was midnight when we pulled into the Cracker Barrel. I just fell into bed and got a great night sleep.We were on a 950 mile drive up to Virginia. Grand total we were gone 19 days that trip. After having one for three years and getting very comfortable driving it I personally feel there is no better way to travel. My wife can go to the bathroom while i drive. She gets us snacks and lunch while we are moving. The views out that big front window are spectacular. Our best view so far has been in Key West where we got a water side campsite. I also like that in a traffic jam you sit up high enough to look out over everyone and see what's going on.
Lazy Days isn't going that class anymore due to Covid. I hope it comes back as it's a great service. What a trip!
@@KeepYourDaydream As you have seen from driving one just giving someone the keys and turning them loose is doing them a serious disservice. Enjoy your trip.
Oh MYLANTA...Marc.. you are like a kid at Christmas with Air Horns 😂😂 We are so excited for this season. Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures 😁
Marc you keep inspiring me on getting my own Air Horn. Well when I get my 5th wheel I will outfit my F350 witb one. Keep up the great videos. Calb....keep those antics coming...lol...funny. God Bless you'al on season 10.
My wife and I just started watching you guys this year and absolutely love watching you guys!!! One thing we have noticed is and Tricia we want an honest answer does Marc do anything at all? LOL In all the videos Tricia you are cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, repairing windows, loading and unloading the rig while Marc just stands there with the camera lmao..On the next episode blink 4 times in the begining if you are being held against your will lol... Thanks for what you do and hope to see you on the road sometime...
It's a fair point. However, the fact that I hold the camera is creating a bit of a self-fulfilling proficiency. Now that Caleb is "holding the camera" more, we'll find out the truth soon!
@@KeepYourDaydream lol just giving you a hard time Marc, but seriously Tricia blink 4 times bahahahahha... We're ordering our shirts tonight :)
Marc is invaluable and I wouldnt consider RVing without him if he were my hubs. And I am like Trish.
Great video. I have always wanted a class A. I’m so glad you guys are trying them out for us to see. And btw, Caleb is a great cameraman. Love how he runs ahead and grabs those great entrance shots. The editing seems to have jumped up a notch too this season. Loving it all. You guys are awesome.
Yes it has. Caleb takes it up a notch and it shows.
This is FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you for going through the A, B, C's, 5th wheel(s) and trailers with us all. EXECELLENT idea! We just traded in our Class A for a Class C.... Rented a cool Class B Winnebago Revel thought "Outdoorsy" last summer to check it out. It's so fun to try them all. Safe travel
So cool you guys are trying out different RV experiences. How fun!! Mark, I will tell you we drove George (our Class A) for 9 months and there really is no “getting used to it”. You definitely get more comfortable, but every single time you’re behind the wheel you are always “ON” and paying attention. We’ve had a 5th wheel for a couple weeks now and it is a whole new experience. Definitely a more relaxing drive than the Class A.
Have fun exploring guys!
That’s interesting because I’ve always heard the opposite. Maybe it depends on the particular class A and truck/5th wheel.
No! My father had Class A coach’s for over 32 years and I never got “use to it” driving them, I moved back to care for him 3 years ago and at the age of 89 he decided his rv days were over, that lasted 2 weeks before he asked me ‘ what would you be comfortable driving?” Within a week he got a Class C. This is an important lesson. Never expect a person to “get use to it” the most important thing to remember is safety. I drove 4 of his last coach’s starting back in the 80s and I was always like you Mark, exhausted after the drive because I was always ON. Driving the 35” Class C is like driving my truck. I’m comfortable, relaxed, no sweaty palms at the end of the day and ready and willing to drive the next day. Adventure On!
Wow! That’s a huge Rv!! Charlie is riding in style now!!!! 😀
I am so looking forward to this season to see if my preconceived notions can be changed. Class A is for rich people, Class C is for older couples who want minimal set up and class B is for the young people who are focused on adventure with a simple bed to go into at night. However, I love my travel trailer/truck combo. I believe TT/Truck combo is THE MOST versatile and economical combination that also allows you to have money in your pocket to actually do things while you are RVing.
Just want to say I am living vicariously through your adventures . I have always wanted to RV and because of sense of adventure I am looking to make the leap .
Last episode Marc was wanting that Peterbilt, He kind of got his wish, not sure this Class a was any smaller.
I love this! And, you know, if you make it back with all the windows intact, they won’t mind those scratches from the trees. 😂
FYI -- love the cooking but here's a hint. When you put hot food in plastic containers, over time the plastic is actually getting in your food. Let it cool first, then store it. Also when you start to see cloudy looking spots in your plastic containers, throw them away because plastic is DEFINITELY getting in your food. Love your videos
First year to buy T-shirts. I like the v-neck. Thrilled to support a charity too!
Thank you. So much fun! We appreciate you!
Congratulations!!! If you decide to purchase a Motorhome make sure you call me! We will give you a deal!
Always the salesman Matt! 😂 😂 😂 Love ya!
Matt is the man!
We would need a video of the entire process!
and there are 3 ways to contact him; you can call him; text him or email him!
And he’d let you know if you picked a “prime pooping position” RV!
Welcome to the Class A world. You guys are gonna love it.
I....AM .....STUNNED!! Never thought I'd see you two, three, four in a motorized! Can't wait to see what happens.......
Charlie and his 🏆stick, 🥰. Now that's a happy Happy Dog 🤗👏
I am so glad to see you guys in a Class A. We just love ours and pulling a toad is just a must.
How did you time season 10 launch with 400k subscribers?
I had 5 years to get this right and I was off by 718!
@@KeepYourDaydream hmm 5 years, 10 seasons, 400k subscribers..... There's something to these numbers...
@@BigTruckBigRV can it tow the airstream (joke) airstream for celeb and rv for you
what was the length of this beautiful class A?
@@rosemaryferche9837 The Tours are 45'
“Air horn mode is staying on!” Best line of of episode. 😂 The look of joy on Marc’s face was priceless!
Outstanding!!! We have owned a 40’ diesel pusher and now own a class C and would never go back to an A.... so much easier and less stress of getting in and out of spots and not limited as we were with our Alfa!! Love the views and scenery you shared with us!!! Thank you. Looking forward to your adventure in the C class
Why is it so sad that Caleb looks grown up? Looking forward to this season! Safe travels!
I know but it's great he is in such good shape. A lean testosterone machine. You will always think back of these easy energetic lean years Caleb, enjoy it.
Nanny na na, I bought my non-expiring national park pass for $10...Best deal ever.
No kidding. We're $80 per year, but gives us a reason to talk about it. I love buying it at the entrance though. More memorable and they process it fast not holding anyone up.
I am glad to see some episodes about renting. Before we got our camper last year, we rented several times. It's a great way to figure out what things you like and don't like about the different types. It does take extra work to bring all the stuff you will need. Love the videos!
My mom and I are renting a Class C and going to Grand Canyon in Mid-May, super excited. I got to go once before but it was a quick experience and now I get to take my mom and it will be her first time. Very excited, counting down the days. Yippee!!
Okay, guys. I have been watching season after season and this is going to be my Summer to Remember. I purchased a 2003 Coleman Sante Fe popup on the 16th of April. Entry level right? But I am a single, with two smart dogs. It was owned by a couple in their 80's who used it 5 times then stored it in their garage and maintained it every year, though they couldn't remember when they last used it. Not exactly a "barn-find", but close enough!! It still smells new inside and is in pristine condition. All the stars must have been aligned because I got it for $4200. Enjoy the motorized season, I will still be watching. My sister and brother-in-law have been full-timing for over 6 years and just purchased a 44' Monaco diesel pusher. I could not believe the cost of buying tires was $13k!! P.S. Had to edit to add my KYD sticker is going on the back of it tomorrow!
Congrats! Great find and way to get started! It won't always be easy, but it will be worth it. Take it slow and mind the dip ;)
Congrats, Janelle. Sounds like you found a real gem. What is your tow vehicle?
@@PatrickWagz 2009 Ford F150 King Ranch. :)
My situation is similar. I’m borrowing my 87 yr old Grandma’s pop up trailer that she bought new years ago but we have only used it twice. It’s in excellent condition & I’m eager to just get on the road. It’ll just be my 3 yrs old son & myself.
Way to go!!! We started with a great popup and it was wonderful.
Looks like this is going to be a super fun season! Can’t wait to see all the differences. We are now in a camper van from a Class C & love it! 💕🐾
We own a class A diesel pusher; a 2018 Tiffin Allegro RED we purchased new. Marc, you looked like you’ve been driving a class A forever. I have to agree with you. You are always on your game when driving these big rigs, which is why we have a 300 mile / five hour limit to our driving each day.
We live in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, we see plenty of elk going west through the Banff parks to our RV resort north of Radium Hot Springs in the Columbia Valley!! Lots of deer, moose, wild turkeys & in the spring lots of mama bears with their young!!Remember elk will charge so best to keep your distance!!
I must have my own pillow!
What brand of pillow????!
Although our coach has pillows, we still take ours from home anyway! :)
I want to see the Caleb goes to Burningman episode this year.
I have the Senior Pass, since I was 63. We'd been using the hubby's, but decided to get my own while they were still $25 (they were about to go up). And I've gotten more than enough use out of it. I love seeing the National Parks. My friend who is a ranger says she loves seeing Senior Passes. Those are people who love the Parks.
And yes, it's not cheap to shop at the Parks. Just convenient. Yeah, one time, now I shop in Flagstaff.
Hi guys - Great video!! Lots of fun. Mark did great driving the Class A. We have had our Tiffin Class A for 2 1/2 years and are full time. My husband hasn’t relaxed driving it yet. 🤣😂 Thank goodness the setup is mostly a button away which kind of makes up for the driving. I love the idea one your viewers had on making “Summer Flags” with your shirt design!! Enjoy the new experience - love your adventures. Safe travels 😊🇺🇸
I have to say, I laughed out Loud when I say that footage Caleb got of you pulling out for the first time. That thing is ridiculously ginormous haha
It really is big!
@@KeepYourDaydream that’s what she said! Literally
Air horns are awesome😀
So excited for season 10!!!!!!
Another great start to a season. I think we have watched all your videos. They have inspired us to buy a travel trailer and become weekend warriors. We just took our first two trips. We have even done a couple of you tube videos. Thanks so much we are loving it.
Love the Class A. We just went from a 43' Voltage toyhauler to a pick up cab over camper (Eagle Cap 1165) with 3 slides. There is so much room in this thing and love having the convenience of being able to park in front of a sub shop or shopping center in a regular parking spot. So easy. Loading and unloading camper is getting easier and easier. Love to see you profile one too.
Something about how even wizened veterans making "rookie" mistakes keeps it all real. So much fun!
Anyone else saw this coming? It was a matter of time. My question is what is going to be next.
space ship
The drive from what I'm guessing is the PHX area back to northen AZ up the mountain on I-17 brings back memories. I lived in Prescott for 6 years. Moved there when I started helicopter flight school at Guidance Aviation. It's such a gorgeous and scenic drive on I-17 between Phoenix and Prescott, especially with the rapid gain in elevation. It only gets better as the scenery changes from Cordes Junction to Flagstaff.
You guys by far have the best quality videos. You guys are like a TV sitcom. You al have such personality. Sometimes I even wonder if you guys are trained actors. I know that when I travel with my husband aren't all smiles 24/7. Congrats if you all are truly that positive and compatible. Not saying we are always disagreeing but you guys are always all smiles..lol.
Tell us what to say and the wheels come off quickly. I don't know how actors do it!
100% agree, your own pillow is a must.
So excited to finally see you in a Class A. We have had ours since 2013. A Toad is pretty much a must have with a Class A. Happy trails from SC! 😀
As a professional bus driver it's fun watching you guys driving a Class A. Keep it coming!
Listening to you guys comments on the Class A was actually really refreshing. We went from a 44' Toyhauler to a 38' 2019 Georgetown Class A. We kept it for 14 months and decided it was not for us. Going from Diesel to gas was tough in itself and I just found that driving the Class-A was fairly exhausting. The big window and the views were so great but the swaying (even after spending thousands on springs and steering stabilizers) was tough and after a couple of trips with mild winds we decided it was not for us. May try it again with a diesel when we retire but for now we decided to go back to a fifth wheel. Sold the Class-A 4 weeks ago and picked up a new 21 GMC 3500 Duramax and a 21 Grand Design Solitude 380FL-R last week. Towing with a nice truck is so much better for us. I know some love the Class A but it just was not for us. It does have pros which is why we may reconsider it late in life but at this point in life, we like the 5er better.
Ok we full time in a Tiffin based on what your doing this season motorized. My suggestion is to rent cars where ever you go. Get pull-thru sites! By the way you got one of the largest class A's made. A 33 ft to 40ft motorhome is a much different experience. Your first year ha
s a serious learning curve. Dealers need to offer classes on the operation of your rig on road and off. Also rentals come with nothing unless you ask for it and then its an upcharge to your rental. Have a great summer. M
Wow. I don’t think I have ever seen the line that long to get into the park. Nice to see the Elk are still patrolling the general store. Back in 2008 my son (he was 11 at the time) and I took a motorcycle trip from Sedona to the South Rim up the 89 and while waiting in traffic to get back out of the park, one of the Elk decided he wanted to come say hello. Problem was we didn’t see him sneak up behind us and I almost dumped the bike over. Afterwards we had a good laugh. Love the Grand Canyon and try to get there at least once a year. Love your videos. Maybe one day we will cross paths on our journeys.
Hmm a motor home. We'll hit the pause button on following you for now. We look forward to getting back to watching you when you get back to your Airstream. Good luck!
I drive a 40ft DP and can promise you that one 4 day trip is not enough to get you used to driving or living in a monster class A. Give it 4 or 5 good weekend trips to learn the systems and you’ll never go back! Should have read the manual before the first trip. Many great features of a class A that you are probably in aware of such as the power management system.
You were wondering where the hot water came from on your RV. It has a "motor loop" that uses the hot engine coolant to heat the water when you are driving. You have 3 sources to heat water. the motor loop the electric heating elements AC1 and AC2 and the diesel burner. The electric elements only work when you have 120 power. That can be shore or generator. For really unlimited hot water use the diesel burner. That only requires 12V power and a supply of diesel.
We have had our class A for 15 years just finished our second remodel.. They are alot to drive and you do need to pay attention but after a while it gets easier. We tow a jeep liberty behind ours. Can unhook it in about 5 minutes or less . We have been across the country twice.... think about seeing America from up high with a big windshield.... it is amazing. Oh and adding the jeep in tow is not a big deal.
Have LOVED grilled or oven roasted radishes for years! Changes the flavor so much...Good going Trish! Love my class A with a toad (SmartCar)!
We went from a 5th wheel to a 40 ft class A diesel pusher and it is cool to see you have the same experience. Once comfortable I just love the drive that big wind shield is so nice you are watching an imax vs a big screen TV . I will say some campgrounds can be tight but we love the whole experience.
"I kinda know where I'm going, I'm from Arizona." hahahaha. That made me giggle.
So excited for this new season! It’s a dream for my husband & I to travel the US once he retires. We are currently stationed in Guam & ordered a shirt. We will be wearing our KYD gear on our upcoming hikes 😎
haha Trish - I agree! I am so spoiled now having all of my own stuff in my travels :)
What a beautiful rig!
Happy season 10, KYD!
I was a bus driver for 24 years. There is 1000 ways to get in trouble behind the wheel. A 40ft bus is no joke. Even your turn near the trees was not set up completely correct but not bad. Overhangs, Parking Lots and small gas stations can be problematic. In a bus that big many types of pavement area's are off limits. The first rule is applying the parking brake the minute your Butt leaves the driver's seat. No exception. Keep a watchful eye on the air gauge and tank pressure at all times. As a new guy behind the wheel stay away from city streets that are narrow and traffic heavy. Do not get in a hurry to make a turn. In one of your turns you should have waited for the car to clear the intersection before turning right. Being able to allow yourself the room to swing wide reduces the back and fourth in the rear view mirrors. Realize and understand your skill level. don't let traffic influence your anxiety. be patient..
Looking forward to a summer of adventure with our new 2021 Forest River and new 2021 Toyota Tundra. Can't wait!!
I may have missed it amidst your insane amount of videos but in 2+ years of avidly following you guys, I didn’t know until now at least one of you is an Elk’s member too! My best friend retired with me out of Chico, CA to Prescott Valley and I to Missoula. I plan on hitting both Sedona and Prescott Lodges when I go visit him!
This I is a great video. We rent our RV and always leave it fully stocked with dishes, can opens, mugs, etc. But this is helpful to see that its a mixed bag out there in the rental world.
Looking forward to your Season 10.... a lot of buttons on that Class A.... that’s a big one!!! We love our 5th wheel & truck..... might do a Class C in the future but, I’m with Trish about feeling okay to drive the rig and having another set of wheels for excursions!
We are on year 2 of our Dutch Star Motor Home - a delightful change from 15 years in a pop up and 1 year with a travel trailer!! And yes, we did see that pretty Dutch Star with the red wrangler passing you. :) We also only drive about 62mph. BTW - Ours came from Midway in Grand Rapids also!
I am well into my 40’s... the reminder to just get it done without excuses is relevant EVEN today. I relearn that lesson over and over. Just STARTING is key for me. It helps me remember that the work I easier than I though and I’m smart enough to make it.
Same. I heard once, "people don't work well under pressure... they just work!" So true.
Great start to Season 10! Beautiful rig, amazing locations, room to roam! Bring on Season 10!!!!
Love your teaching! Trish I have never on my life backed up any trailer/RV of any kind until our first 29fter trailer! Totally nailed 👌👏my first time with only a couple of adjustments! BTW no lessons!
Love this, don’t care where you go I’m watching. Yeah!👏🇺🇸🙏❤️
Loved this episode! I needed the music and cinematography of the wildlife at the end! God bless you all!
I miss AZ. Spent my first 30 years there. Have not been there for 26 years. Loved Sedona, lived only about 40 minutes from there.
